And I would have been very wrong. What has happened in this country has made a lie of my boyhood.

We are at the moment when our lives must be placed on the line

if our nation is to survive its own folly.

Every man of humane convictions must decide

on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest."

- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1968
